    Wow, I had no idea. I've watched a number of Danish and other Scandinavian shows and movies over the past few years. These types of media were not previously available here in the states, and I can believe the reason they are now (especially during the pandemic) is because there's a lot of appetite for more content. When you can watch an entire series in a weekend, you go through a lot of content quickly. It's terrible, but completely unsurprising that this is leading to mistreatment of workers. The film and television industries are rife with exploitation of workers here in the US.

    I wonder if the situation is similar for the rest of Scandinavian. I'd expect Sweden and Norway to have similar outputs, so that might be an alternative.
